DIRECTIONS

2. Add the cake mix, eggs, oil and water to a large mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed with an electric mixer until all the ingredients are well incorporated.

3. Pour into your prepared baking pan and bake for 10-12 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

4. Allow the cake to completely cool for 45 minutes.

5. Once cooled, break the cake up into small pieces and place in a large mixing bowl. Add 1 cup of vanilla frosting and 1/3 cup red, white and blue jimmies sprinkles. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes for easier handling.

6. Line a large cookie sheet with wax or parchment paper. Set aside.

7. Roll the chilled cake mixture into 1 inch balls and place on the lined cookie sheet.

12. Dip 6 cake balls into the remaining melted red chocolate and place on the lined cookie sheet. Immediately sprinkle with the patriotic star sprinkles.

13. Add the blue candy melts to a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 45 seconds. Stir until completely melted and smooth. Dip 6 cake balls into the melted blue chocolate and place on the lined cookie sheet. Immediately sprinkle with the remaining patriotic jimmies and nonpareils sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.

14. Melt the royal blue candy melts in a microwave safe bowl for 45 seconds. Stir until melted and smooth. Dip the remaining cake balls into the melted royal blue chocolate. Place on the lined cookie sheet and immediately sprinkle with patriotic nonpareils sprinkles.

15. ENJOY!!
